According to CoinDesk, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins stated at an event in Manhattan on October 8 that the agency still hopes to establish an "innovation exemption" policy for companies operating in the United States based on digital assets and other innovative technologies as soon as possible, perhaps by the end of this quarter. Although the current government shutdown has constrained the SEC's ability to advance rulemaking, developing this policy remains a top priority for the agency, scheduled for the end of this year or the first quarter of 2026. He stated that the agency intends to initiate rulemaking by the end of 2025 or the first quarter of 2026 and is confident of doing so. He added that formal rulemaking in the cryptocurrency sector would allow it to break free from the previous regulatory model. During a Q&A session, he stated that the exemption he is promoting is one of the items he hopes to finalize quickly, as a way to welcome innovators to the United States. He also noted that the government shutdown has hindered work and has halted rulemaking. He also praised Congress's efforts to pass cryptocurrency legislation, mentioning the GENIUS Act but stating that the SEC did not play a major role in it.According to CoinDesk, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chairman Paul Atkins stated at an event in Manhattan on October 8 that the agency still hopes to establish an "innovation exemption" policy for companies operating in the United States based on digital assets and other innovative technologies as soon as possible, perhaps by the end of this quarter.

At the TGE, all stakeholder tokens will be fully unlocked: 20% will be allocated to Mercurial stakeholders; 15% will be allocated to Meteora users through the LP Incentive Program; 3% will be allocated to the Launchpads and Launchpool ecosystem; 2% will be allocated to off-chain contributors; 3% will be allocated to the Jupiter Stakeholder Incentive Program, which aims to expand core LPs tenfold and will come from the TGE Reserve; 3% of MET will be earmarked for centralized exchanges, market makers, and other entities, making up the remainder of the TGE Reserve; and 2% of MET will be earmarked for the M3M3 stakeholder package. The remaining allocations will be: 18% to the team, vesting linearly over 6 years; and 34% to the Meteora Reserve, vesting linearly over 6 years. Expected inflation will be generated by team unlocking and potential liquidity incentives from the Meteora Reserve. 10% of the TGE circulating supply will be allocated through the Liquidity Allocator based on user preferences, with the community providing liquidity and earning trading fees. Earlier news, Meteora announced that it will hold TGE on October 23, and the token name is MET .
